Find the Perfect Square Trinomial s^2+17s+c

$s^{2} + 17 s + c$

Step 1

Move $17 s$ .

$s^{2} + c + 17 s$

Step 2

To find the $c$ value $c = {(\frac{b}{2})}^{2}$ , divide the coefficient of $s$ by $2$ and square the result.

Apply the product rule to $\frac{17}{2}$ .

$\frac{17^{2}}{2^{2}}$

Raise $17$ to the power of $2$ .

$\frac{289}{2^{2}}$

Raise $2$ to the power of $2$ .

$\frac{289}{4}$
